"I just want to be myself, you know?" says Justin Nozuka. The briefest of nervous laughter, and a wry grin, say what he can't say for himself: There is such a thing as too much introspection, even for a guy who's made his mark by being candid and reflective. That irony is informed by the old soul behind 22-year-old Nozuka's fresh-faced countenance, and the duality is striking. New York-born, Canadian bred Nozuka is young enough to have interview jitters, but sufficiently wise to recognize when he stands to sound, well, full of it. So he's ever vigilant, lest his character [...]

This is pretty much the only album, besides Common's , that I have played on repeat since end of last year. I was a major fan of Slakah 's two projects last year, Art of Fresh 's When the Night... and his solo Something Forever album and (probably unrealistically in hindsight) lobbied hard for both to make the Polaris Music Prize long list because I think the dude's a genius and an under-appreciated treasure here in Toronto. Both of those albums were amazing, beautifully-produced, cohesive, quality [...]

RZA pays tribute to his friend ODB.
With the aftermath of the freak rain storm that overshadowed The Black Key's set (Apparently they played at 10:30pm). The weather on Day 5 of Ottawa Bluesfest 2011 was a different contrast. It was a perfect day of great live music that played out at the festival. The acts that I saw were: Giant Hand Sweet Thing Dawes [...]

The idea for the new, ROBOPOP-produced version came about after India.Arie caught Nozuka on "The Late Show with David Letterman." Impressed, she publicly displayed her support for him on Twitter, and from there, the two began conversing on the [...]

Justin Nozuka - Mr. Therapy Man "I gave her all of me, Gave her my soul And that was exactly what she stole from me" Let me introduce this talented man to you right here! He is one of my all time favorite artists and his songs do not disappoint. His words mean so much, he is a great singer, and has a presence about him on stage. I think I've gone to see him about 5 times already. I try not to miss him in the Los Angeles area. The first [...]

Last week, Xavier Rudd & Izintaba and Justin Nozuka spent two evenings at Toronto's Queen Elizabeth Theatre. I had the opportunity to check out their first show on May 20, 2010. With Xavier Rudd & Izintaba having just recently released their latest album Koonyum Sun, as well as Justin Nozuka just releasing his sophomore album, You I Wind Land and Sea , there could not have been a better pairing to promote both albums. Justin opened up his set with "Gray." Strategically, this could be seen as an introduction to his latest album, You I [...]
Dubbed by Entertainment Weekly on 2008 as one of the new male music acts to look out for, this Toronto native has a lot of tails wagging at his music. I have to admit, his song from debut album, After Tonight still gives me a fluttery feeling. Anyway, all the three years of hardwork (writing, recording and touring) prior to releasing this album, You I Wind Land and Sea as a follow up to debut, Holly is worth. I'm looking forward to this sophomore effort after hearing this good one. Check it out. Props to [...]

Filed under: Exclusive , Canada Justin Nozuka has been learning about the mainstream music industry since his 2007 breakthrough debut, 'Holly.' Having just released his follow-up album, 'You I Wind Land and Sea,' the Toronto singer-songwriter points out pop music isn't nearly as pure as the music sounds. "Most songs that I hear that are coming out of the mainstream are material based," Nozuka tells Spinner. "There's no real dimension of spirit, there's no real emotion there. It's expressing something very flat and stale and it's [...]

Frank Yang I would say that a band that's been around as long, as influential and as consistently excellent as The Wedding Present has been over their quarter-century existence is entitled to a little indulgence, and what better occasion than the 21st anniversary of one of your most beloved albums? But indulgence isn't the Wedding Present's style, so rather than make a big production of it, they rolled into town on Wednesday night to do their thing, same as they've done a number of times since David Gedge put [...]
